This news may be a bit old by
now, but i think some people are still not aware of it. Last year, we were
shown new line of Star Wars 2013 Droid Factory Legacy Collection action
figures. The action figures that were revealed were awesome and cool and was
being anticipated eagerly by many Star Wars fan. The Star Wars 2013 Droid
Factory action figures were supposed to hit the market by the spring of 2013,
however, it sad to hear that those cool action figures are cancelled. Yes, they
are cancelled and it’s official. Read below, the official statement by Hasbro.

Star Wars fans,

The Droid Factory line which was
slated for spring 2013 has been cancelled. We were very excited about this line
at its inception and wanted to give fans an early sneak peek when we unveiled
it at Star Wars Celebration this past summer. Unfortunately since then, through
the course of development, we realized that the price would have to be increased
and we felt that the value we were adding with the droid parts was no longer
substantiated.

As a result, we have decided to
rework our 3.75” figure program to create a line that is on-par with the
quality and pricing of the Vintage Collection. Many of the figures intended for
the Droid Factory will become available in this new line in the fall. We’ll be
able to share more news on this at Toy Fair.

We also recognize that there were
many hard-to-find Vintage Collection figures in 2012. So, as we shared last
December, we will re-release many of these figures this spring before the
Vintage Collection goes on hiatus, making way for some of the most exciting new
initiatives for SW collectors in years.

Thank you for your continued support
and enthusiasm.

Regards,

The Hasbro Star Wars Team

After reading the statement,
there is one good news for sure. Hasbro will be re-releasing many of Star Wars
Vintage Collection action figures in 2013. We can expect some more Vintage
Collection action figures, before this line will be put on hiatus. So keep calm
and wait for the Star Wars 2013 Vintage Collection action figures.
